I found 3 wheat pennies (1925, 1930, 1939) and 2 bullets in a very small, unkempt front yard fronting a street with mostly apartment houses. I noted a bottlecap/zinc read on my Eagle Spectrum in the same yard, but I didn't dig it (dummy!). Later, on my way back to the car, I checked it again. It was a clean read, and deeper than most. I'm glad I decided to dig, because out came this neat-looking lapel pin.
It's a Lone Ranger Victory Corps lapel pin. Kids during WW2 could become a member of the "Corps" and receive the pin in the mail,as premiums in kix or cheerios cereal boxes. With it they got a letter on how important it was for victory to save metal, grow vegetables, buy bonds, etc.
